Damn, I knew he was having health issues but had no idea things had gotten bad enough to take him out.
I count my blessings every day, I'm lucky to be alive after my accident earlier this year.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up Flog00 . We're down another ATL-area BF'er.

A while back, Duane and I agreed to meet up, have a beer and talk bikes the next time he'd be in Holland. I am really sorry we were never able to make that happen. RIP, Duane.

Duane once sent me a Raleigh Blue Streak, just because I told him I thought it was a cool bike and my High School was the Sandusky Blue Streaks, and Cedar Point in Sandusky has a roller coaster called the Blue Streak.
The bike just showed up one day....

Unfortunate. He and I messaged a while ago when he was selling off a lot of his collection due to not being able to ride it. Nice guy.

Duane's wife contacted me to help her sell some bikes from Duane's collection.
I seem to recall there being a few members that lived near Alpharetta Georgia.
I'm too far away to be of much help to her, reach out to me if you might want to buy or help her sell these.

Posting the bike size and what's in his collection would likely sell a few to BF members.

I think there are around six bikes.
Duane had a thread here somewhere on the few bikes he had kept.
